I don’t think this is true.

Yeah DRS has reminded umpires leg stump exists and that spinners deliveries don't turn as much as they assumed.

 

[loterry1994]

Those bouncers have sucked

 

[morgieb]

This is looking a bit worrying. I think England have solved the Plan B (bouncers) and the wicket has died too much for them to be as effective.

The weird thing is that it was swinging quite a bit earlier - don't get why we don't go back to that.

 

[kevinw]

They’re ****ing doing this aren’t they

No but they didn't roll over at least.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Aus missed Lyon

 

[ashley bach]

Isn't it wonderful to see GSK in

 

[ataraxia]

This shovel pull above the horizontal from Duckett is more effective than it should be. A top edge seems inevitable.

 

[Aidan11]

This is a bit like a slow death. You know your gonna lose but its gonna take a bit of time to finish the job

 

[Uppercut]

Duckett twists the bat in the wrong direction when he pulls. Elevates the ball when he should be using his wrists to keep it down.

I think going to the bouncer too early to Duckett has been a mistake. If nothing else, is it still a playing condition they roll the deck for a bit each morning? Seems one paced atm, the good length stuff has troubled them both

Comms are right about Smith being too deep as a catcher. Cummins needs to take a leaf out of Stokes' captaincy yesterday to Green and put catching men about 30m back because these are going head height

 

[GIMH]

Jesus you Aussies are a pessimistic bunch. Making the Kiwis look optimistic here

 

[Stapel]

At what point should this partnership be broken, to make it even? My guess is that Eng need quite a few more from these two.

Happens every time there's a partnership in a 4th innings against Aus. People claim it's because of Brisbane and Headingley but it long predates it on this place, it really frustrates me

 

[halba]

I think they need to go plan a and get some Yorkers
